Football Twitter Page

After our Twitter list of football players we thought we would do page where you can get a quick overview of all the tweets out there related to football. Categorised into sections like footballers, journos, podcasts, bloggers, wags etc we hope you find it useful. Let us know what you think and if you have any suggestions. Other categories to come will be video sites, newspapers, commentators and anything else I can think of on the way. Always open to ideas.

Football Filtered #14

Hello and welcome to my latest look at what has been passing through the Football Filter this week.

The Manchester City spending spree continues with Kolo Toure the latest new boy. They have now set their sights on Everton’s Joleon Lescott. But the Toffees are refusing to be bullied into selling their star defender. THE GUARDIAN reports that they have rejected City’s second bid of £18million out of hand. But with City having endless amounts of cash at their disposal, how long will Everton resist? Football betting on that one is likely to be split.

And what now for Arsenal?

They may have £39 million in the bank but Wenger has told THE TELEGRAPH that big money signings are imminent – despite rumours of a dramatic return for a FORMER CAPTAIN.

AFC Wimbledon’s rapid rise up the football pyramid is the most common example of a side being re-born by the fans from the ground up. But this article in WHEN SATURDAY COMES shows that success isn’t always guaranteed.

Wondering what that annoying buzzing sound was during the Confederations Cup? Swarm of giant wasps perhaps? No, they were the vuvuzela horns, the instrument of choice for the South African fans. If you find them annoying count your lucky stars you weren’t at the Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium in Port Elizabeth this week where a world record vuvuzela was made, as reported in the WORLD CUP BLOG.

What a twit! Darren Bent, whose protracted move to Sunderland continues to stall, vented his frustration at Spurs chairman Daniel Levy via his twitter page, as reported in THE MAIL.

And finally…

Any football fan will be saddened at the news of the death of Bobby Robson. A great player, a great manager but more importantly, a true gentleman. Football is much the poorer for his absence.

A little update

So for the last couple of weeks the blog hasn’t been a high priority at footballfilter.  This has much to do with me being on holiday than anything but this will change soon, blogs will be back on.  But for the time being I thought I would just give a brief update of what is going on and what we are up to.  Well for the main part we are investing in a developer to make managing the website far easier.  The developer will be setting up a CMS system so that retards like myself can actually manage the pages far easier, I for one am looking forward to it.  Alot of other features will also be worked on by this elusive chap but we will have to wait and see on that one…..

We’ve also been concentrating on the team pages, you may have noticed the poll that went up of late.  I think Arsenal won and this has been duly noted and an Arsenal page is up and running:

Next up I think will be West Ham and then Liverpool.  Please feel free to email us at contact@footballfilter.com if you want a particular page sooner rather than later.  Likewise is you want you blog, site etc feeded on our site, get in touch and we will look into it.  We have just added a load of new podcasts, a bit of a favourite by our existing users of footballfilter, so we hope you like the new ones.  Other than that it’s all step by step really.   Once this CMS system is up and running all the pages will start fleshing out into a far better compiled site – like we said before please feel free to contact us with any feedback you have!

Also do any of you use twitter?  We have a page now, follow us if you like!
